ORIGINAL: mnottertail How would one deal with the brittle rubber backing flaking off all over due to the piss spray? Bob Vila  We gingerly gather all the remnants together, keeping them snug in our apron pockets. We then dye each flake with simple food coloring, choosing our Autumn leaf shades of red, gold and yellow. A loving spritz of grandmothers favorite parfume sufficiently masks any lingering urine aroma left as territorial marker by that clumsy man of the house. I find a funnel with waist strap usually helps with this annoying little matter. That or a small electric beam in crisscross pattern outside the zone of acceptance as a subtle reminder for better aim. We tastefully place minature squash and gourds (no silly, not his head) about the dining room table, letting our now fabulous fall flakes float gently about them as if nature arranged them herself. It is an inexpensive yet inspiring centerpiece which will impress those friends and family whom surprise us with those uninvited visits. Using everything others might simply view as throwaway in a decorative way as this glorious holiday season encroaches, is, a good thing. Martha (the pet)
